William F. McNeil

Black Baseball Out of Season

Pay for Play Outside of the Negro Leagues

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This history recounts the experiences of American black ballplayers outside of the Negro Leagues - often in places where a lack of prejudice contrasted sharply with conditions at home. Tracing the development of the game in each location and the unique character of each winter league, it details the contributions of the Negro League players and collects their statistics in each of the winter leagues.
